Absorbent article

A washable and reusable undergarment, comprising one or more fabric panels forming a front region, a back region and an intermediate region extending between the front and back regions, the front region and the back region being joined such that the undergarment forms a waist opening and a pair of leg openings,

• wherein a central longitudinal axis of the undergarment is defined along the one or more fabric panels of the undergarment from the back region and towards the front region, and a transversal crotch axis of the undergarment is defined in a direction extending between the leg openings and so as to divide the intermediate region into a front intermediate region extending longitudinally between the transversal crotch axis and a front end of each leg opening, and a rear intermediate region extending longitudinally between the transversal crotch axis and a rear end of each leg opening, the transversal crotch axis being perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis;
• the undergarment further comprising an absorbent assembly comprising a wearer facing top layer of a textile material, a moisture barrier, and at least one intermediate layer being superimposed along a height axis, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and the transversal crotch axis, between the top layer and the moisture barrier, the absorbent assembly is permanently attached to at least one out of the one or more of fabric panels in at least part of the intermediate region by a set of one or more bonding members,
• wherein the top layer and/or the one or more fabric panels are of natural material and the top layer has length in the longitudinal direction and an extension beyond the longitudinal length of the barrier and the intermediate layer(s) of the absorbent assembly.
